She Song

Chapter 247 Blood-Stained Juma River
"You are lying!"

Yin Shuke stared at the pale dead soldier and said coldly.

The dead man was covered in chaff and kept avoiding Yin Shuke, who was approaching step by step. He didn't know where he showed his flaws?
"It is not difficult to plunder [-] gold and silver coins from Zhuozhou, but it is absolutely impossible to collect [-] stones of food and grass. What on earth does Medicine Master Guo want to do?"

The dead man understood at that time that five thousand stones of grain and grass totaled 40 catties, and Zhuozhou, which was not that big, couldn't get it anyway.

Yin Shuke was actually testing himself just now?

Without any explanation, Ba Lisu kicked the dead man down, cut off his left hand with a knife, then pressed the blade on his neck and shouted sternly: "If you don't tell the truth, you will die!"

The dead soldiers did not regard death as a matter of course. They were just gambling when they accepted the mission. If they were lucky, they could get a large sum of money.

But the Jurchens seized on their own flaw, and at the critical moment of life and death, they could only truthfully tell the truth about Yaoshi Guo's instructions.

When he finished speaking, Ba Lisu chopped off the dead man's head without any suspense and took a sip: "Guo Yaoshi, you deserve to die!"

"There is only a thousand stones of food and grass in the city at most, and they have to be given in two batches... That is to delay time through negotiations. Why is Medicine Master Guo doing this?"

"Waiting for reinforcements?" Ba Lisu made the most reasonable inference.

"It tastes wrong..." Yin Shuke said, opening the map and looking at it again.

Suddenly, he discovered that Zhuozhou was surrounded by two rivers, and the only land passage had been blocked by the following First Division, Cavalry Brigade and Special Operations Brigade.

"Send scouts to investigate the bridge crossings on the Sanggan River and the Juma River! Well, there are also specific arrangements for the First Division to the west!"

The messenger immediately informed the scouts, but Su Li Su Jian Yin Shu didn't look good, so he asked, "Isn't that Prince Han still thinking about surrounding us?"

Yin Shu didn't speak.

The most terrifying enemies often strike in the most unexpected places.

Once the bridge and ferry are destroyed, the cavalry will be unable to cross the river. They will have to confront the Zhenguo army head-on. This is the result he least wants to see.

He might be able to win, but thinking about his men's flesh-and-blood bodies charging against steel-made artillery and repeating ballistas, he could already foresee how tragic and bloody it would be!
I hope I am overthinking it, otherwise the Kingdom of Jin will suffer the greatest sacrifice since the launch of the Hushui Army.

And he is the top general of this army, and his sin is unforgivable!

Time passed slowly every moment, and Yaoshi Guo could clearly see every move in the Yin Shu Ke camp. When the Jurchen scouts rushed in all directions, he knew that the dead soldiers had been exposed in the negotiations.

"It's less than half an hour, I guess Yin Shu will soon know what's going on."

Zhen Wuchen was also equipped with the latest telescope, and seeing that Yin Shu was not fooled, he could only say: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. Brother, don't mind."

At this time, Yaoshi Guo suddenly asked: "If you want to break out of the siege, where will Yin Shu choose? Well, who is guarding the Juma River?"

"It's Lao Zhao and Lao Liu who are supervising Yizhou. The Juma River has been cleaned up. There won't be any problems..."

"He Shou and Shun Ren?" Medicine Master Guo shook his head and asked, "What would you do if you were good at silver arts?"

Zhen Wuchen calmed down and made a judgment easily.

It is said to be surrounded on three sides, but compared with the First Division to the west and the Yanjing Corps to the east, the Yizhou garrison in the south is undoubtedly the weakest link.

Zhao Heshou and Liu Shunren only had 3000 troops at hand. For them, defending Yizhou was the top priority. Even demolishing the bridge on the Juma River and confiscating the ships might not be airtight.

Pharmacist Guo immediately said: "Report to the prince, and at the same time order Yizhou to conduct a strict inspection of the Juma River again, making sure not to leave any omissions!"

Zhen Wuchen responded, and before he went down, Guo Yaoshi added: "Even if it is all gone, Yizhou will block the Juma River, and those who violate the military law will do so!" Zhen Wuchen couldn't help but looked up at Guo Yaoshi, and saw The opponent was full of murderous intent, so he could only follow the order to pass the letter.

Zhao Heshou and Liu Shunren of Yizhou couldn't help but feel numb after receiving the strict order from Pharmacist Guo.

They are not idiots either. From the report on the situation between the enemy and the enemy, it can be concluded that more than 2 Jurchen cavalry such as Yinshu can pull out the speed, etc., are probably surrounded on the ground in Zhuozhou.

I have never heard of Jurchens surrendering. Yin Shu will definitely fight with all his strength. Surrounded on three sides with Zhuozhou in the middle, anyone who is not a fool knows that Juma River is the weakest, and the Jurchens will definitely attack Yizhou.

Damn it, there are only 3000 people in Yizhou, not 2. How can they withstand more than [-] Jurchen cavalry?
Liu Shunren looked at the military order repeatedly and found it difficult, but he thought of a non-solution, recruiting reserves.

"The Ever Victorious Division is recruiting reserves. Those who join will be given [-] gu of housing allowance each, and they will have plenty of food and wine today!" The yamen men beat the gongs and filled the streets to recruit.

Zhao Heshou was a little worried about his family's money, and his face was uglier than if his parents were dead.

But looking at Minzhuang who came enthusiastically, Liu Shunren comforted him with a smile: "Look out, if you can't stop the Jurchens, if the Jurchens break the city, you and I will definitely die. As long as we can recruit 3000 people to guard the Juma River , not only can you save your life, but you might even get a medal!"

Zhao Heshou broke the jar and said viciously: "I fucked the golden dog's eighteen generations of ancestors. I had to force me to lose money. I dragged them all to the river. Whoever dares to escape will be punished on the spot!"

Liu Shunren said with a smile: "Just take a look. There are no bridges or boats on the Juma River. The only places that can cross the river are Bailutan and Shema Bay. Can you choose one?"

Speaking of fighting, Zhao Heshou has also been in the army for many years. The water in these two places is shallower and the most likely places for the Jurchens to break through. Since they can't escape, they can only bite the bullet and fight the Jurchens to the end.

"The terrain of Bailutan is vast. I will take 4000 people there, and you can take the rest to Shima Bay. Is that okay?"

Liu Shunren nodded and said: "That should be the case, that's it!"

However, Liu Shunren kept an eye on it and asked the government officials to continue to recruit people to strengthen the people. After gathering 100 people, he sent them to the above two river sections to strengthen the defense force.

As the Victory Division of the Zhenguo Army gradually tightened its encirclement deployment, Yin Shuke and Ba Lisu also learned of Han Xiaoyao's plan.

"There are 4 people who want to eat our [-] riders? Haha~ Han is so brave!" Li Suqi was trembling all over, but he also knew that even if he could break through the siege this time, he would still suffer losses. Imagine.

Yin Shu couldn't care less about being angry. After thinking about it, as expected, he chose Juma River as the best place to break through.

"Only by going south to Yizhou can we avoid losses. Although Bailutan and Shemawan are defended by the Victory Division, they are mixed with civilians and strong people. It seems that they are short of troops."

Balisu looked at the two river crossing points twenty miles apart, and finally pointed at Bailutan and said: "The terrain here is open. You can use bows and arrows to suppress the opponent's defenders. If you shoot him two or three rounds, you should be able to rush over."

Yin Shuke said: "Two places attack at the same time, go wherever you can!"

There is no objection to pulling out the speed, and it is not easy to say what happened on the battlefield, not to mention that they have more than 2 cavalry, and they have enough troops to attack at two points at the same time, and they can also force the opponent to be unable to deploy troops to support the other.

"That's it, I'm going to Shima Bay."

Yin Shuke gave him eight thousand horses again and said: "No matter who crosses the river, take Yizhou as soon as possible and attack in the direction of Xiongzhou and Zhending..."

Ba Lisu knew that this was to break away from the Zhenguo Army and move towards the Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, he was afraid of the Zhenguo Army.

Although he felt extremely ashamed, under the extremely urgent situation, Ba Lisu could only take orders and lead his army to the south!
As the Jurchen cavalry quickly moved south, Guo Yaoshi, Yuan Shishi and Han Xiaoyao immediately launched a full-scale pursuit.

Guo Yaoshi, who was still near the water tower, took the lead in intercepting more than a thousand Jurchen rearguard troops, while Zheng Liang and Jiang Queer followed the Jurchen cavalry, taking a bite from time to time, and eating more than a thousand cavalry one after another.

Bailutan and Shema Bay had already become scenes of flying arrows. The Jurchen cavalry began to cross the Juma River on horseback, and were immediately attacked by the Yizhou defenders of the Ever-Victorious Division.

The flowing river water turned red and bloody.
